Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

It must be said that Yu Shufei's suggestion sounds very good; it can increase the production of pills without revealing the pill formula.

Xu Qingzhou appeared to be considering the matter, but in reality, he wanted to hear Xu Luo's thoughts. After all, he himself did not understand the situation of Wanbaoge, nor did he know whether these three kinds of pills were suitable for this approach.

When Xu Luo saw the calligraphy on the Wanbaoge plaque at the previous Wanbaoge auction, he remarked, "So it's that old guy's calligraphy. No wonder it felt familiar."

This indicates that he had a good relationship with the higher-ups at Wanbaoge in his previous life.

Furthermore, since he provided all three prescriptions, his ideas are highly valuable.

Xu Luo stood to the side and naturally heard their conversation. He didn't say anything, but just listened silently.

[This Consort Yu is indeed very clever. The Qi Gathering Pill isn't suitable, but based on the refining process of the Consciousness Condensation Pill and the Vitality Enhancement Pill, this approach is feasible, and there's no need to worry about the pill formulas being leaked.]

I'll discuss this with Uncle Liu later. This collaboration is fine. And if anything unexpected happens, I can find a way to contact that old man.

Hearing his thoughts, Xu Qingzhou had an idea.

"Manager Yu's suggestion is good. Once this matter is settled, we can discuss specific cooperation plans."

Seeing that Xu Qingzhou had agreed so readily, Yu Shufei was slightly taken aback, then smiled and couldn't help but praise him.

"Clan Chief Xu, what courage you have! Aren't you afraid that our Wanbao Pavilion will interfere?"

She spoke with a smile on her pretty face, and a touch of playfulness.

Xu Luo, who was standing to the side, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the man would agree so readily without much thought.

[Oh no! Could it be that Sixth Uncle has fallen for Yu Shufei and succumbed to her charms? Why did he agree so readily?!]

If they actually get together, what should I call that old man when I see him again?

Normally, such a big matter should be considered or discussed with the elders.

Xu Qingzhou agreed too readily, which surprised the two of them.

"In business, integrity is fundamental. If Wanbaoge didn't have integrity, it wouldn't have grown so big. So I trust you."

That's just him being polite. As for integrity, normally it's all about self-interest.

If he hadn't heard Xu Luo's thoughts, he wouldn't have risked cooperating with Wanbaoge. After all, they were powerful, and if something really happened, the Xu family wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

“Alright! I, Yu Shufei, can guarantee that I will absolutely not betray Chief Xu’s trust!” Yu Shufei suddenly said with a serious expression.

I don't care how you guarantee it; I'm only cooperating with you because I trust Xu Luo.

At this moment, people from the Lingyue Sect arrived. They were all inner sect elders, not the strongest ones. They were more knowledgeable and better at healing people, since they weren't there to fight today.

After the elders arrived, they ignored everyone else and were the first to greet Xu Qingzhou with a smile.

Those who held higher positions within the Lingyue Sect understood Xu Muge's importance to the sect, and thus maintained a degree of respect for Xu Qingzhou.

It's just that they weren't here; if they were, Lanjiang wouldn't have dared to utter a single word.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone present suddenly felt a chill wash over them.

They turned to look at the stage that had been the auction house.

A man carrying a crystal coffin emerged. He was tall with bright eyes and an aura as deep as the ocean, like a sleeping, ancient beast.

Everyone understood that he was none other than Shangguan Zhuo, the once-proud prodigy. His entrance was ordinary, but his aura commanded respect.

The crystal coffin that Shangguan Zhuo was carrying contained a woman in blue, frozen inside with a special type of ice. She was his wife, Lan Ying.

Most people's attention was on Lan Ying, after all, she was the key. Saving her would allow the genius Shangguan Zhuo, a master of the Nascent Soul stage, to follow and obey them for a hundred years.

"Everyone."

Shangguan Zhuo's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and had a unique air about it. As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"My name is Shangguan Zhuo. Although everyone may already know about my situation, I still want to reiterate it."

"My wife lies in the ice coffin. Whoever can cure her, I, Shangguan Zhuo, am willing to follow them for a hundred years, working tirelessly without complaint."

"Thank you for your help."

Shangguan Zhuo didn't say much, but his words were firm and powerful. He cupped his hands in greeting, indicating that everyone could begin.

In an instant, all the powerful figures from various forces present went up to the stage to observe Lan Ying's situation up close.

Given the Xu family's strength, Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo should have been in a corner, but because they were with the Lingyue Sect, they ended up standing at the very front.

At first glance, Lan Ying in the ice coffin looked like a corpse. Only by observing her carefully with her divine sense could one discover that she still had a trace of life.

But it was extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, and could be extinguished and dissipated at any moment.

Simply put, he's dead, but not completely dead.

Those present were all capable and insightful individuals with keen observation skills. As they observed, exclamations and whispers rose and fell.

"This... her inner core has actually cracked!"

"Yes, as a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm, her inner core is her foundation. If her inner core cracks, it will self-destruct. Before treatment, we need to find a way to repair her inner core."

“It would be difficult for her to repair her inner core even when she is conscious, let alone for someone else to help her repair it in this state, which is extremely difficult.”

"Not only that, her soul is also severely damaged and is currently in a state of extreme weakness. If we rashly use some pills and rare herbs to nourish her soul, it will not only fail to cure her, but will also cause her already weak soul to dissipate directly."

“If she hadn’t been sealed with a secret technique, she wouldn’t have survived even a cup of tea’s time.”

"Although this secret technique is incredibly profound, it is not omnipotent. If it cannot cure the disease after a certain period of time, the final outcome after the secret technique fails is still death."

Everyone knew before they came that it would be very difficult, otherwise Shangguan Zhuo wouldn't have visited so many major cities and met so many powerful people, yet no one could cure him.

But I never expected it to be this difficult.

Xu Qingzhou had limited abilities, little knowledge, and no medical skills; he was just standing in front to join in the fun.

Xu Luo was carefully examining Lan Ying's condition, pondering ways to treat her.
